Learner Experiences with MOOCs, and learning analytics

I don't think I blogged: Veletsianos, G. (2013). Learner Experiences with MOOCs and Open Online Learning. Hybrid Pedagogy.
which is a book made up of chapters authored by Veletsianos' students, detailing their perspective on early experience with MOOCs. Download in various formats at:http://hybrid-pedagogy.github.io/LearnerExperiencesInMOOCs/

On a related theme, the latest Transforming Assessment webinar (which took place on 25th June) has been put on Youtube. The presenters were Belinda Tynan, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Learning and Teaching) and Kevin Mayles, Open University, UK. "This session detailed the model and approach used by the Open University, UK to Learning Analytics. The outcomes derived from an organisational level approach to embedding analytics as students begin their journey, on a day-to-day basis and in reflection to support students in being successful in their learning journey were discussed." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mufg9vTi3cYPhoto by Sheila Webber: Two worlds (roses and Second Life), June 2014
